Usually you're given a preview of the Hands-On topology with minimal info and without full details though. The key to passing is more practice! I simulate the the hands-on and provide my own scenario details and configure/run it in the lab. At Southwestern College, Chula Vista, CA, a Cisco Academy Regional Center passing rate is 50% for Sem5/6. You still have a second chance but will lose 100 points toward your grade.
